Restaurant Supply
Answer : As we discussed on pages 3337-3338 of the ICD-10 final rule, the ICD-9-CM Coordination and Maintenance Committee will discuss updating the GEMs for a minimum of three years after ICD-10 is implemented on October 1, 2013. We welcome recommendations regarding how long the GEMs should be maintained and updated. The final rule can be found at http://edocket.access.gpo.gov/2009/pdf/E9-743.pdf on the Web.
